Bill To Propose: Aid in the eradication of communist traitors!
Additional Notes: Greetings, citizens! It has come to my attention that the threat of COMMUNIST TRAITORS is ever-increasing! To that end, I propose outfitting every access terminal with a mandatory execution chamber! This will allow a more convenient, safe and fun way to eliminate vile traitors no matter where they might hide!

Um... communism?

Why is communism a threat here?

Regardless of one's own beliefs, or what another has done, it is never appropriate to take such actions without a fair and impartial trial.

Wha...what?!!

Absolutely not! No one is to be executed without trial - and they should never be 'fun'

Fascinating. And what evidence do you have that there are, as you say, "communist traitors" among us?

It is part of life that one has free will. And if they freely choose to go against the will of others, than it is the others that they must face. Fairly.

That seem illsuited to creating an atmosphere of intellectual freedom and honesty, and I'm still against it.

Well we can't just let traitors have it easy, can we?

Are...

...you...

NUTS?! Don't be ridiculous! We can't just go executing people willy-nilly! Who CARES if they're Communists! And what if somebody set that thing off on accident!

The resurrection fees would skyrocket.

Yes, the -- KITARO!

Sorry.

Regardless of whether or not they are "Communist"?

What a waste of money! We can execute people in the interrogation chamber, where it's cheap!

Maybe I've missed something but...

Have communist traitors been an issue here in the past? Traitors are a rather serious issue, but... I think I'm failing to understand something about the necessity of this bill?

From: [identity profile] loveloveomelet.livejournal.com
...while I agree in theory...

I think you're missing the more fundamental problem with this.

Well, one kind is a start, don't you think?

What problem? Some jerk wants to waste money on multiple execution chambers when there are half-sized rooms and budget problems!

I don't know what Communism is - but it's apparently something that's a problem in his world.

It's a political school of thought that's rather unpopular where I come from as well, but... it's more or less fallen out of use, for the most part.

I'm fairly certain we have no reason to worry about it here.

Obviously, killing people with... "mandatory execution chambers" is just wrong morally, in every way! Even if they were free!

Communist or not, they're traitors and they need to be dealt with.

Date: 2010-10-13 02:21 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] loveloveomelet.livejournal.com
Exactly! We can't try to stop free thought and-

...wait, still?

Date: 2010-10-13 02:23 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] loveloveomelet.livejournal.com
But... even traitors have rights. They deserve to be heard, at the least... even if treachery is the highest crime, and punishable by death.

Where did anyone say that there wasn't going to be a trial?

Date: 2010-10-13 02:32 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] loveloveomelet.livejournal.com
...the wording of the bill is rather open ended. Even if a trial isn't explicitly ruled out, there's no way I can support something so... whimsical about death.

I've always believed that knowledge and learning thrive under adversity.

Date: 2010-10-13 02:37 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] loveloveomelet.livejournal.com
Oh... well, yes, I agree somewhat but...

If you make things too adverse you risk people just... giving up entirely.

Date: 2010-10-13 02:39 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dooralwaysopen.livejournal.com
Which is why I'm still against it.

I suppose as long as you're against it, the reasons don't really matter that much...

I'm the only ghost that needs to haunt CO, thanks very much. No competition necessary.

You know a bill is terrible when even I think it's a ridiculous idea.

Given the lack of evidence towards the existence of this... "communist threat"...

Nay.

Life and death are the domain of the King.

Nay. Seems a bit redundant at this point, though.
